THE BEST VINEGAR COLESLAW



The Best Vinegar Coleslaw image

We love the zippiness that a vinegar-based dressing brings to this coleslaw, making it the perfect partner for rich, meaty dishes like pulled pork or ribs. Cabbage can take lots of seasoning and lots of vinegar, so don't be bashful. But the real secret to this colorful coleslaw is the marinating time - a long trip to the fridge softens up the veggies and gives them time to absorb the flavors of the vinaigrette. A drizzle of olive oil at the end balances the acidity.

KITTENCAL'S MARINATED OIL AND VINEGAR COLESLAW



Kittencal's Marinated Oil and Vinegar Coleslaw image

I make this quite often for BBQ parties and everyone loves it! plan ahead, this salad must be prepared a day ahead and left in the fridge overnight to blend the flavors, it will take on a completely different flavor --- I have even added in lightly blanched broccoli and/or cauliflower florets to the veggies, feel free to add in whatever you want to --- remember to add in the white sugar to suit taste if you prefer a sweeter coleslaw adjust the sugar amount, I have added up to about 1 cup, taste the dressing before adding to the salad if you think it needs more sugar then add it into the dressing before mixing into the slaw just make certain to whisk very well so that the sugar is mixed in completely.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help them absorb the dressing better.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with the slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
  • Use a variety of cabbages and carrots for a more colorful and flavorful slaw. Red cabbage, savoy cabbage, and purple carrots are all good options.
  • Add some other vegetables to your slaw, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or bell pepper. This will make it more nutritious and crunchy.
  • Use a light and flavorful dressing. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper is a good option. You can also add some herbs, such as dill, parsley, or chives, to the dressing.
  • Let the slaw rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Oil and vinegar slaw is a refreshing and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a simple and delicious side dish, give oil and vinegar slaw a try.
